Yoga Is A Metaphor For Life. You Have To Take It Really Slowly. You Can't Rush. You Can't Skip To The Next Position. You Find Yourself In Very Humiliating Situations, But You Can't Judge Yourself. You Just Have To Breathe, And Let Go. It Is A Workout For Your Mind, Your Body And Your Soul.

I Don't Know Why; I Had Nothing Of Value After They Took My Radio The First Time.

Not Only Do We Suffer From Racism And Sexism, But We Also Suffer From Ageism.

I Want To Appeal To People's Sense Of Humanity And Interconnectedness. I Feel Like I Have The Platform I'm Standing On For A Reason.

It's Not Enough To Raise Awareness.

I Think In The End, When You're Famous, People Like To Narrow You Down To A Few Personality Traits. I Think I've Just Become This Ambitious, Say-whatever's-on-her-mind, Intimidating Person. And That's Part Of My Personality, But It's Certainly Not Anywhere Near The Whole Thing.

That Consciousness Is Everything And That All Things Begin With A Thought. That We Are Responsible For Our Own Fate, We Reap What We Sow, We Get What We Give, We Pull In What We Put Out.

It's Not My Nature To Just Kick Back.

I Think After Time Goes By And You Earn Certain Rights Or You Break Through Certain Barriers, You Could Sometimes, Maybe, Take It For Granted What You Have Now That You Didn't Have Before.

Because They Never Got Answered, I Just Kept Lighting Fires Everywhere - Metaphorically Speaking.

Brushing My Grilzz Before I Booty Pop. A Woman's Work Is Never Done!

I Keep Telling Everyone That I Want To Start A Revolution But No One Is Taking Me Seriously. If I Had Black Skin And An Afro, Would You Take Me Seriously? If I Was An Arab Waving A Hand Grenade, Would You Take Me Seriously?

I Like The Idea Of Going To One Of Those Retreats Where You Don't Speak - Like, Silence For Five Days.

The Critics Have Been Writing Me Off For 20 Years. That's Nothing New. As Far As I Know I Still Have Plenty Of Fans And Sell Lots Of Records. Do I Care What Critics Say About Me? No, And I Don't Read Reviews.

Better To Live One Year As A Tiger, Then A Hundred As Sheep.

I Do See That The World That We Live In Is Collapsing To A Certain Extent, And Civilization As We Know It Is Caving In On Itself. I Believe That We Are At A Very Low Level Of Consciousness, And We Do Not Know How To Treat Each Other As Human Beings. We Are Caught Up In Our Own Lives, Our Own Needs, Our Own Ego Gratification. I Feel A Strong Sense Of Responsibility In Delivering That Message.

I Was Thinking About Dying The Other Day The Death Thought Came While I Was Sitting On The Toilet Peeing - That's Where I Have My Most Contemplative Thoughts.

I Always Felt Like I Was A Freak When I Was Growing Up And That There Was Something Wrong With Me Because I Couldn't Fit In Anywhere.

Power Is A Great Aphrodisiac And I Am A Very Powerful Person

I'm Sentimental About Jesus On The Cross. Jesus Was A Jew, And Also I Believe He Was A Catalyst, And I Think He Offended People Because His Message Was To Love Your Neighbour As Yourself; In Other Words, No One Is Better Than Somebody Else. He Embraced All People, Whether It Was A Beggar On The Street Or A Prostitute, And He Admonished A Group Of Jews Who Were Not Observing The Precepts Of The Torah. So He Rattled A Lot Of People's Cages.

For Me, It's Either You're Part Of Creation Or You're Part Of Destruction. It's Inexplicable; It's Like Breathing, And I Can't Imagine Not Doing It.

I Always Thought I Should Be Treated Like A Star.

Girls Can Wear Jeans And Cut Their Hair Short, Wear Shirts And Boots Cause It's Okay To Be A Boy. But For A Boy To Look Like A Girl Is Degrading Cause You Think Being A Girl Is Degrading

And Then, Going To High School, I Saw How Popular Girls Had To Behave To Get The Boys. I Knew I Couldn't Fit Into That. So I Decided To Do The Opposite. I Refused To Wear Makeup, To Have A Hairstyle. I Refused To Shave. I Had Hairy Armpits.

If Any Of You Have Seen My Shows, You Know That I Don't Skimp On Them And The Same Is True For The Gym. We Spend What It Takes To Make A Globally First-class Gym.

Being Blonde Is Definitely A Different State Of Mind. I Can't Really Put My Finger On It, But The Artifice Of Being Blonde Has Some Incredible Sort Of Sexual Connotation. Men Really Respond To It. I Love Blonde Hair But It Really Does Something Different To You. I Feel More Grounded When I Have Dark Hair, And I Feel More Ethereal When I Have Light Hair. It's Unexplainable. I Also Feel More Italian When My Hair Is Dark.

I Really Want To See Everything. If It's Around Me And It's Part Of My Show, I Need To Be A Part Of All Of It. From The Creation Of The Music, To The Surface Of The Floor, To Everyone's Hairstyle, To The Details With The Buttons And The Bows And The Snaps And The Zippers. All Of Those Things!

I Worked For Everything That I Got And I Worked Long And Hard Before I Got To This Point So When I Got It I Thought I Deserve It.
